Inspired me to rummage around and power up my old 90's Toshiba T1910CS, still kicking...
Is that the one with the giant trackball sticking out the side? Those things just kept going.

Nope. Retro is anything that was common a long time ago but isn't anymore. The actual items from back then would be considered tetro, and things can be made new today to fit this old retro style that you could then also describe as being retro.I thought retro was something new but made to look like something old
Yup, but no trackball, can't remember if the company ever sprung for one.Is that the one with the giant trackball sticking out the side? Those things just kept going.
I think this qualifies as old.

In 1984 my wife was pregnant with our first child and was on bedrest. With nothing else to do I played Zork I, II and III, Planetfall and a bunch of the other Infocom Games for hours every day on my Commodore 64. Some where I've got a Zork I emulator for my computer. I can still remember the first 15 moves to get from the starting point to the door of the mansion. You could put them all in one command line.Zork!

I'll bet age plays into it; those in their 50's would be looking for one gen of systems; those in their 40's are looking for something slightly newer.
There's a huge interest in 8 and 16-bit computers right now. There are even new games being released. You'd be surprised what a working Amiga 1000 goes for.
